INSTRUCTION MANUAL

International Version 2.1 ® jerrycan Dear user

I originally developed the LIFESAVER after I saw the tragic waste of life and serious problems caused by the lack of safe drinking water in the wake of the tsunami in December 2004 and then again the following year on August 29, 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. It took a little while and some very frustrating prototypes but eventually I did it. And the rest, as they say, is history.

As far back as the Second World War jerrycans have been used for transporting water. LIFESAVER systems have revolutionised this 60 year old storage technology. We have completely redesigned it from the ground up. The LIFESAVER jerrycan incorporates LIFESAVER’s famous filtration technology allowing users to process up to 20,000 litres of clean sterile drinking water without the use of chemicals.

The LIFESAVER jerrycan bridges the gap between hand held water filtration and the tap. Like the LIFESAVER bottle the LIFESAVER jerrycan uses a highly advanced ultra filtration system. LIFESAVER jerrycan will remove bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, fungi and all other microbiological waterborne pathogens. It does all this without the aid of any foul tasting chemicals like iodine (which is now banned for use in drinking water within Europe).

I designed the LIFESAVER jerrycan to be used in many different markets including Aid, Military, Consumer, Traveller and Emergency preparedness. Treated with care and respect you can expect many years of trouble-free use. Should you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Membrane Integrity check

Your LIFESAVER jerrycan has been designed to work 3 in the vertical position or horizontal position with the jerrycan tap facing downward. Please refer to drawing 1 & 2 on page 14. If water does not flow freely despite being ¼ full at these angles then the membranes have become damaged in someway. If the membranes have been compromised in anyway a large amount of air will be expelled from the tap rather than water 3 . You must stop using your jerrycan and replace the cartridge immediately.

Long term storage If storing LIFESAVER jerrycan for a prolonged period of time (i.e. between trips) you should always perform a front-side wash. Ensure that no water remains in the tap housing. You will need to discard the activated carbon filter tap. It is also advisable to sterilise the jerrycan. To keep your LIFESAVER jerrycan in tip top condition you should flush through with water on a regular basis. DO NOT allow the filter to dry out.

Preventing ‘hardness salts’ build-up on the filter. In hard water areas calcium, magnesium and other salts are in solution within the water. They are perfectly normal. However if you are storing your jerrycan for prolonged periods it is important that it is not left to dry out. If it does and the water is from a hard water area then these salts will come out of solution and crystallize on and within the filter membrane. This will significantly reduce the performance of the membranes and in some cases cause the membrane to stop working. You

15 will NOT be able to make a claim under your warranty.

Sterilisation • Empty the jerrycan and flush out any debris. • Turn tap to off position. • Fill your jerrycan ½ way with clean tap water and add 35ml of Milton Fluid (or compatible sterilising fluid) to make a sterilising solution. • Continue filling to the top. • Screw pump firmly back into place. • Gently invert the jerrycan several times to agitate the sterilising solution. • Allow to stand for 60 minutes. • Turn tap to on position Pump several times until water starts to flow. Allow at least ½ litre to flow. • Turn tap to off position and leave to stand for a further 60 minutes. • Turn tap to on position and pump the remaining sterilising solution out. Some will still remain and this is normal. • Discard the remaining sterilising solution. • Re-fill with clean tap water. • Pump this water through the jerrycan. • Your LIFESAVER jerrycan has been sterilised and is ready to be used again.

When you plan to use LIFESAVER jerrycan again just flush a couple of litres of water through and it is ready to use again.

If you notice any bacteriological growth on the inside of the jerrycan then clean both jerrycan and cartridge as advised, (How to install or replace a LIFESAVER jerrycan UF cartridge - page 11) and perform sterilisation again.

Before first use LIFESAVER jerrycan should be kept in a dry place. After first use the product should be protected against drying out and freezing.
